Hello.
I want to know if some body use these camera, and is sure how many is the maximum capacity of the SD and SDHC mamory card, wich cauld to put!
On the site of Canon read this "Supported memory cards for PowerShot A630, A640, A710 IS, S3 IS, SD40, SD800 IS, and SD900
Your camera can be used with either SD or SDHC memory cards that conform to the Secure Digital standards. You may use multi media cards (MMC) with this camera; however, Canon makes no warranties concerning the use of multi media cards (MMC). The maximum capacity SD that may be used is 2 GB. For capacities greater than 2GB a card adhering to the SDHC standard must be used. Canon also does not endorse any particular brand of memory card or suggest specific "Speed Ratings".
But in the specifications in the camera not write that support SDHC, but some where I read, that is possible. Thanks before the answers!

I do have the Canon S3 and I use a 4GB SDHC card. With the setting of "L" I am able to capture about 2400 images. With the setting of "L" superfine, I am able to capture about 1400 images.

Hope this answers your question.

Yes, thank you. I bought Transcend 4GB SDHC Class 6 and all is OK.

This is great! Does the S3 also support 8GB SDHC Class 6 card?
